Scramble to benefit hospital scheduled

Proceeds from the 24th annual event, a scramble, will benefit the foundation which is a nonprofit organization devoted to supporting priority patient care projects at Wyandot Memorial Hospital. It is named in Bowman's memory for his service on the hospital's board of governors and support of its mission.

The scramble will begin with a 9 a.m. shotgun start and will feature men's and women's divisions. Prizes valued at $1,600 (based on 36 teams) will be awarded, along with proximity prizes and prizes for special contests. Players also are eligible for hole-in-one prizes, which are sponsored by Morral Excavating.

Each team of four players must have a combined handicap of 36 or more with only one player having a seven or less handicap.

The entry fee of $65 for each player includes greens fees, cart and lunch. Entry forms are available at Hickory Grove and the hospital, and entries are due by Aug. 18.
